I haven't done any programming, and XML is the closest I've come so far. I've just gotten a handle on it, and I think it's because it's so verbose that I can make more sense of it. The idea of having an "XSL shorthand" that one could use after she got up to speed in it isn't a bad idea - but I think it would be a while before I could hack that. - Nikki XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
